WISE is one of the most advanced yet simple controllers for feeders and folders in the world. The system has been developed by H J WEIR and is therefore ideally suited for our product range and really gives the end user the control they require for the effective day-to-day operation of laundries.
Features:
Energy
The system has given H J WEIR the ability to make our products more energy efficient, certain functions included are variable speed fans for our Vacfeed 29 Low Line, now you only draw the amount of power needed depending on classification of work being processed for example when processing heavy sheets or duvet covers the fans will be pre-set in the program to 100% however when feeding lighter items they can be set down to 75% power or if hand feeding then the power can be set lower again. Power is set on site and can be changed very quickly through the WISE Controller for each program. Another feature is our sleep mode, if the machine is inactive for a period of time but left running it will automatically shut down until it is powered up again therefore not wasting energy.Self-Diagnostics
Sensors are checked for correct operation, if any sensors are dirty the system will display a warning on the front screen or if the option of Self Cleaning Photocells has been chosen it will send a blast of air to clear any lint build up. All overloads are monitored so if any should trip out this will be displayed on the keyboard. Other functions monitored by the controller are Air Pressure, Emergency Stops, Safety guard interference and machine blockages.
Event Log
The machine will store any events on the machine, these will include such things as when the machine is powered up on the isolator and when the machine is running or stopped. All events are dated and time shown, the log will store up to 200 events with the oldest being deleted when it becomes full.
Fault Log
The machine will store any faults that have occurred whilst the machine has been in operation, these include alarms typically on crossfolder for foldmakers or overloads that have tripped. All faults are dated and time shown, the log will store up to 200 events with the oldest being deleted when it becomes full.Productivity
Each machine has a simple productivity feature, for example with multilane folders the productivity can be viewed for each lane and each programme giving a very detailed report. It is also possible to view the quantity of rejected items during a period of time. Each program stores it own count and it does not carry from program to program. Also included is the ability to display a target on the front keyboard allowing operators to view at a quick glance if they are below, on or above targets set by yourself.
